I havent' been able to post for a few days, it keeps giving me an error message, so hoping this works.
I've made some gains, and by that, I mean, losses, in the area of one point two kilogrammes in two days. Yay, the weigh before that was 400 grammes and Friday of last week was also 400 grammes. All up I'm dropping about 1.7kg on average a week.
Had a series of walks on the weekend - walked to my sister's house, which took just under two hours, and then on the Sunday, I walked to Park Island again, takes an hour and a half to get there, an hour and a half to get back and I spent about an hour and a bit walking around the track and chasing the bunny I saw in the old cememtry. It's good going up there, not a lot of living people.
And because the graves are so old, if the zombies rise, they'll just be skeletons - those are easy to dispatch of.

400 grammes
That's like like a thing of butter, well minus 100gm.
I added that too my "lost" collection over the weekend, was weighed on Monday.
Today (Tuesday) went in and did a circuit (since I was in town for physio), then I did 6 minutes on the rowing machine non-stop. It was fun. I liked it. Very much. Huzzah - I wanted to make it to one kilometre rowed.
I have now reached the point where desires for pies no longer exist, and the idea of having one makes me feel nauseous. Second, I get more of a buzz out of exercise then chips and pies and all those horrid foods that put me in this position in the first place.
Oh well, 400gm in two and a half days is nothing to scoff at, I'm well on my way.

Five point seven kilogrammes
Is how much I lost on that horrid cheese filled detox.
Over the last few days (before weigh in) I'd been noticing my pants were looser then usual. Oh crap, I thought, I must of ripped my pants or the safty pin that holds them up is busted... again!
I'm actually really annoyed at these pants - I spent 50$ on them, which is a lot, but I thought they were cool, after one wash several seams had split, the material in parts had frayed - like above my knee, and on top of that they only had size 26 and size 18 left, I don't fit an 18 (yet) and depending on the make, can get into 22 - 24, so got the 26 knowing my sewing skills and a few safety pins could pick up the slack.
Anyway, that panty tangent aside - I lost 5.7kg, I honesty was shocked, I thought I'd drop maybe 200gm.
The lady was like "HOLY MOLY!! That's the most lost in a detox I've ever seen".
"Some women come in here with that as their goal weight".
You mean to say there are women out there who think dropping 5.7kg is a "goal". Seesh, lucky for them, if I was only that much over I wouldn't care too much.
Anyway, to each their own.
Regardless, the weight was lost in a healthy manner - as I was concerned that's too much to drop in one week, but the diet control maidens were happy.
Temptation abounds, though, yesterday I was in the supermarket and went through the bakery section, they had cinnemon doughnuts. The proper ones, not that crap rings of bread soaked in some sugar and cin. which soggies up and then stales. And they were on the cheap.
But I kept on walking!

The beginning, aka Thank the Lord God detox ends tomorrow
I've decided to loose weight.
I use to be pretty trim - well, for my height and musclularity at least. Thing was, it wasn't too noticable. I tell people how much I weigh and they're like "WTF? Really? Holy shit you hide it well?"
I do hide it well, which is the problem, I know I"m fat and before getting myself a case of Diabetes or I suffer an MI I've decided to do something proactive.
I started doing pilates, but had to stop after I developed a damn hernia. I went to physio for back pain and found that my abdominal muscles are exceptionally weak whereas my back muscles have been compensating and as a result are freakishly limber and strong - my back hurts a lot because of this.
So, I found a weight loss/ladies gym programme which is exactly what I'm looking for.
Since other people have started blogging their weight loss shenanigans I thought I"d take up their example and do the same - plus it might keep me honest - not that anyone actually reads this stuff. Though I have pointed my friends in this direction.
My cholesterol is fine, my BP healthy, all bloods normal, so before the shit hits the fan, time to do some work.
I'm 174cm and weigh 118kgs. People honestly don't beleive me when I tell them that. My chums and family are like "Nah, you're not fat" - and truely beleive it.
Medically, I am. The lady at "Healthy Inspirations" (the weight loss programme) said that I was correct when I worked out my ideal weight would be between 75 and 80kg, so I'm aiming for that mark, but the thought of losing 40kg is a bit much - didn't think I could.
But I can and I will, especially since as the cheap arse I am I wanna reach my goal weight ASAP (healthily though). It's costing 29.90$ a week, and was 99$ to join, down from 250$ or something cos it was a leap year special - so I took that as a divine sign.
I'm on a detox diet at the mo which involves a lot of vegetables, protein and cheese/fats - I really hate cheese, I haven't eatn this much in, well, ever, cos I hate cheese. My allergies to fish, egg, soy, most diary and nuts means finding that right balance of fats and protiens is a pain in the arse - which feels smaller, BTW.
I hate cheese.
I go on my eating programme tomorrow, so hopefully, no cheese, or limited cheese.
I have to go at least three times a week and do a special gym circuit, which I really like doing. I like using those big machines - and one of the beneifits is my back is feeling better cos I"m building up my abs!
Of course, I'm going to have to buy a crap load of safety pins to hold up my pants because I'm too cheap and won't buy new clothes until I've lost the weight - so in a year or so.
Its a women's only programme, so I don't have to worry too much about my modesty cos there's no men (there's some machines that work limbs in an immodest fashion), and because it's not a "real" gym pa se, there's no ladies who look like men, or those body builders.
The weight slowly piled back on when I moved from that place that took me an hour to walk to school, now I live 8 minutes round the corner, that and just being really lazy with my food stuffs.
And pies. I will miss, thee, pies.
So, here I go, loose this damn weight that people are shocked I have.
